Always have fished with a baitcast or spinning setup; but always wanted to learn to flyfish. Could you point me in the right direction?

We’ve had some small windows recently to get on the Winter Steelhead that are entering the rivers of Northern California and Southern Oregon. These windows haven’t been as frequent as they can be some years but we’ve been getting creative and dedicating long hours of driving to chase the favorable conditions. We had some very memorable days last week pursuing these fish. We will be targeting these Winter Steelhead until mid-March so there is still time to get a trip if you have the hankering.

After that, it’ll be back to the trout that have had a nice long break. Speaking of which – we’ve had a few guides on the Lower Sac recently and the fishing has been fair at best. “Slow” for the Lower Sac is still good by most trout fishing standards – but things aren’t quite as good as they could be yet. The ultra cold temperatures have slowed the trout fishing down a bit and looks like this might persist for at least another week. As soon as the daytime temps start creeping over mid 60 degrees – we are going to be expecting some great trout fishing on the Lower Sac.. The Caddis and Mayflies will be flying and the trout will be grubbing.

There were a few days where none of the rivers were fishable up here. It ended up being a great weekend to be at the ISE show in Sacramento.. Most of the Winter Steelhead venues besides the Klamath and Trinity will be big and dirty for another week or so.. The Trinity kicked out a few really good days earlier this week. It's still big over there but she's slowly on the drop - currently at 1K cubes in JC. With conditions like this mixed with a little color in the water - expect fish to to on the move. Fishing this river in these conditions is one of our favorites as fish can be in so many different little nooks and crannies and in a lot of "transition" water. The "Lower Sac" is purdy dirty still form the last deluge.. It may be at least another few days for it to clear up and turn green. The fires from this past summer are proving to add a little more color to the river than we're used to during these winter storms. We're looking forward to the first few 70 degree days of February and March to get the Brachycentrus Caddis out and about. This event is know to turn the trout ON big time. If you don't have a Spring trip planned yet.. ya might want to get on it.
